from Google & Yelp"I’ve been a long time customer at New Penny for the last several years. It’s often my go to spot in my local area for several reasons: amazing/unique food, enjoyable comfort drinks alongside refreshing new seasonals, and lots of comfortable seating. Sadly that’s changed over the past few times I’ve been there. Today, I came in, looking forward to sitting in one of their 4 window-side overstuffed swivel chairs only to discover they’d mostly been replaced with tables and stools. This is the 3rd furniture rearrange in the last year and by far the worst because the comfortable seating has largely been replaced with straight back chairs and stools. It immediately felt like New Penny didn’t want me to stay a while, but rather I should order my drink and food, eat, then leave right after rather spend time enjoying the atmosphere and socializing. I hate to say it but it felt closer to Starbucks or Dutch Bros than the New Penny I enjoyed before. Additionally the couch and overstuffed chairs have been pushed over by the artists’ boutique area, effectively cutting it off from the rest of the coffee shop. It used to feel open and integrated into the space, and was one of my favorite areas to browse for unique and locally made items. But now it feels like an after thought crammed in the corner. It makes me wonder what direction New Penny intends to progress in the future. If they continue to model themselves after “modern” coffee shops with stiff seating and a corporate atmosphere, I think I will not be coming back. :’("
"Great restaurant. The early mornings and Sundays are my favorite to wind down, pleasant atmosphere and excellent food worth every penny. The Big Boy Bagel is in the name and quite filling. As an AZ native I recommend it highly."
"Came in on a Sunday morning, very busy. Very clean and modern cafe vibes. Got the copper coin latte, so delicious and fragrant! The Blvd Burrito and Big Boy Bagel sandwich were both pretty good. I would def come back. Pricing is very reasonable as well. You get to choose your own seating, which I appreciate."
"What a cute little spot! I had the chicken and waffles and husband had the tater tot bowl. The coffee was excellent best dirty chai I’ve had in a while. Cute little shop to browse while waiting on food. Will definitely be back."
"The vibe and atmosphere is great. I’ve had 3 diff dishes from this place and the food really isn’t good,especially for the pricing. It’s very cheap low quality food even though the presentation is usually goos. Food is not worth the money but the lemonades are really good! The pic in this review was take out but I’ve dined in 2 different times as well. I’ve tried both breakfast and lunch items"
"What a great place to relax and unwind. They have many homemade syrups and a wide variety of options in food and drinks. If you want a quick muffin they got..."
